Looking For Family Thanksgiving Activities? Explore Central Texas Caves
If you have family coming into town for Thanksgiving or even if you live in the Central Texas area, a fun place to take everyone on an outing is to one of Central Texas numerous public caves.
Here are the top four caves you should see.
1. Longhorn Caverns State Park - There are a handful of things to do while at Longhorn Caverns State Park, visiting their large cavern, which is their main attraction, will be the most enjoyable. This cavern was created from thousands of years of dissolving and cutting action of water on the limestone bedrock of the area. In the cave you will see fossil remains showing how the Ice Age animals once occupied the cave. Experience Crystal City, an area of the cavern that is adorned with calcite crystals formed by standing pools of calcium-saturated water. There is also the Queen's Watch Dog.
The cave's history dates back to being a cavern the Comanche Indians used 400 years ago. It was then used as a Confederate stronghold where gunpowder was manufactured in secret during the Civil War.
There are guided tours every day of the week into the cavern, each last about an hour and twenty five minutes. Guides will talk to you about the cavern's historic and geological history.
